Chapter 5
Ari's POV
Carter and I run down the hall to get to lunch, once we get our lunch we sit down with all of the other initiates for a change. Mer sits across from Isaac and next to Megan. Mer looks too innocent to be dauntless but I think she has a ruthless edge to her. It looks like Mer has a thing for Isaac. Kim, Jake, and Dylan join us too.
"So I heard that there is a party tonight. Who's going?" Dylan asks
"I'm up for it." Everyone else says yeah too. "Whose party is it anyway?" I ask
"Some dudes named Zeke and Uriah. Apparently they throw the greatest parties ever."
"Let's go shopping!" Carter says and she grabs me, Mer, Kim, and Megan all the way to the shopping center to get some party dresses. "Ohmygosh you have to try this one on! She hands me a black sparkly dress that goes down to al little above my knees and is strapless. I try it on and end up loving it. I take it up to the register and buy it. Carter gets a black dress like mine except hers stops just blow her butt and instead of sparkles it is covered in red lace. I go to look for more dresses for the others and Carter and see some girl dragging Six around the store.
"Hey Six!" I say, she stops and so does the girl that's dragging her.
"Hey Ari! How is your lunch break going?" she asks "Please get me out of here!" She whispers to me. I laugh.
"What's wrong?"
"Christina here is making me shop!" She says.
"Oh come on T-Six" she stumbles, "It's not that bad."
"Come on Christina, you know I hate shopping! It's not like I don't have enough dresses from all the other parties they have thrown."
"True, but one more dress isn't gonna hurt." She whispers something in Six's ear that makes her blush.
"Ok, fine. Make it the best one yet and I'll tell you what he did today." Christina squeals and they walk off but not before Six shouts bye to me. She is so nice; I wonder why she seems emotionless during training. I hope after I pass initiation, and yes I said when I pass, I hope we can become friends. Right now I would focus on the dresses but I just spend thirty minutes looking and we have to be back in the training room in five minutes and it across the compound. I run back to the rest of the girls but I cant find them. Luckily I have to pass the dorm to get to the training room. I run as fast as I can I open the door to the dorm and throw my bag on the bed which happens to be the closest one. I run to the training room to see everyone but Six there.
"You're lucky; you had one more minute to get here. Today we start technique for fighting and tomorrow will start the actual fights. Four names a few and demonstrates them as he goes. He air punches and kicks then shows them against the punching bags that are hung up throughout the room. As soon as he tells us to start practicing, Six walks through the door. "Well it's nice of you to show up Six."
"Sorry Four." He walks up to her with his arms crossed.
"I think you should spend this time practicing with the initiates since you are not responsible enough to make it to training on time let alone teach these kids how to fight." She looks pissed and then she blushes, she whispers something in his ear that makes him laugh and she comes over to the bag next to mine, it's the one on the end. "Begin!" Four yells and I hear Six make a sound that sounds like a vicious cat meow. I stifle a laugh and start to punch and kick the bag. I see Four walking around and inspecting everyone. He stops when he gets to Six I hear him whisper something like "Never forget to keep tension here." She giggles quietly when he puts his hands across her stomach. There is defiantly something between them. I turn my head back to the bag and begin punching again. My hands and legs are starting to bruise but I push past because I know that if I want to pass, I have to ignore the pain. I still glance at them occasionally. I see Four look around to see if anyone is watching, I look away but half watch out of the corner of my eye. I see them quickly kiss and whisper something. I knew it. I knew something was up. I keep punching but now I'm smiling, for their sake. Two hours later we are let out for lunch and are told we can do whatever we want the rest of the night. I like the fact that we can do what we want and I'm not being told don't do this or don't do that, I'm finally free.
-PAGE BREAK-
Still Ari's POV
There is an hour until this supposedly awesome party. I don't even want to go; I'd rather be alone drawing. It's been a hobby of mine ever since I could hold a pencil. But I guess I should go considering it is my first dauntless party and I heard someone say that "The excuse this time is that he is claiming it is the initiates party," whatever that means. So I get in my party dress and wait for Carter. She comes out with Jake on one are and Connor on the other. Connor was really cute and I kinda like him. I'm about to say something when he leaves her side and walked over to me.
"Hey Ari, do you want to go to the party with me tonight?" He flashes a charming smile at me.
"Yeah, that would be great." We walk off to find Uriah and Zeke's place.
It doesn't take long to find, you can smell the alcohol a mile away and almost all of Dauntless is in their apartment, including Six and Four. I see them sitting on the couch together. I bet they're a cute couple. I smile to myself and turn away, back to my friends and back to the party.
"Hey who wants a beer!?" Jake shouts
"I've never had one, but I'll try one." I say, Jake stares at me in shock.
"Same here," Carter says.
"and here" Connor adds on.
"I will be back in a second and all of you are getting a beer in you right now." He walks away and we laugh.
"Who knew a Candor would love to drink so much." I say, In less than two minutes he comes back with four beer bottles in his hands. We all pop the tops off, "Here's to all of us getting this far and hopefully making it all the way through." And we drink.
As the night goes on there is a ton more drinking and dancing until Some dude stands up on a table yelling that "If you're not one of my close friends or invited by me get the hell out of my place!" not entirely sure what that means. Carter, Jake, Connor and I start to leave when Six grabs me by the arm.
"Hey, why don't you stay? Zeke told me I could invite one initiate to play." She says.
"Yeah sure, why not. Gimme sec," She smiles and walks away. I catch up to Carter to tell her that I'm not going home and Six invited me to stay. I run back through the massive crowd of people and find Four, Six, Christina, two guys, and two other girls that I don't know, sitting in a circle.
"Alright, I am Zeke, this is my brother Uriah, my girlfriend Shuana, Uriah's girlfriend Marlene, Christina, her boyfriend Will and you know Four and Six. So were playing Candor or dauntless."
"What's that? I mean we played games in amity but it was mainly tag." I say.
"Well, Candor or Dauntless is basically truth or dare but if you don't want to complete something you have to take and article of clothes off and shoes and socks don't count." Uriah explains
"Alright, let's get this party started! My house, I go first!" Zeke yells. "Umm Christina, Candor or Dauntless."
"Dauntless." She sounds confident.
"I dare you to let Uriah give you a makeover." By the look on his and her face, this should be interesting. She groans and gets up with Uriah and walks to the bathroom. Everyone starts to talk amongst themselves until poor Christina comes out with her hair teased as high as it can go. She has bright red lipstick that was put on sloppily and too much bright purple eyeshadow. She also has a dramatic amount of blush on. Overall she looks like a Barbie doll that was taken over by a five year old who thinks they know what they're doing. Everyone gasps at first and then just starts laughing.
"Get. Me. A. Mirror." She demands "Now!" Uriah hands her a mirror and my hands fly to my ears when she lets out a high pitch scream. "Uriah I'm gonna kill you!" she slumps back down in her spot and chooses her next victim. "Marlene, Candor or Dauntless?"
"Candor," she replies shakily.
"Pansycake!" Uriah screams and everyone else groans.
"Seriously bro you got to stop trying to bring it back." Four says.
"What did he say?" I ask confused.
"He said pansycake. It used to be a big time insult, it means you're a coward and that is the biggest insult you can say to anyone in this faction. Everyone stopped saying it a long time ago but Uriah here is trying to bring it back using it more as calling you a wimp." Four explains. That was the most I have ever heard him talk at once. I just nod and let Christina get back to her question.
"What is your worst fear?" She says nothing just takes her jacket off then looks straight at me.
"Ari, Candor or Dauntless?" Oh God, this can't end well.
"Dauntless." I decide to be brave; after all I am Dauntless now.
"I dare you to go find Four's girlfriend and tell her he is cheating on her with Six." She smiles evilly but I'm not sure why I might get punched but it's not that bad. That's when everyone starts laughing, including Four and Six. What is going on?
"Ok? Who is his girlfriend?"
"Her name is Tris." I stand up and leave while everyone else is still laughing. I walk down the hall and into the pit.
"Hi do you know where I can find Four's girlfriend Tris?" I ask the first person I see.
"Probably with Four, why?" The girl answers.
"I was dared to find her and tell her that he is cheating on her with Six." The girl starts laughing really hard. "What!" I demand.
"I think you need to go back to the game and not spend your life looking for someone that you know." I just stand there confused.
"Come on, my name is Lauren and they have some explaining to do."
"Ok?" I still confused but I follow her back.
"You want to explain to me why you sent this poor girl that is an initiate on an impossible mission." Everyone is laughing again.
"Enough! What the hell is wrong with all of you!?" I snap. Then Six stands up.
"Ok, well I like you enough to trust you. My real name is Tris and I'm Four's girlfriend." She says. "You can call my Tris but only when we are not anywhere around the other initiates."
"Got it, any chance you would tell me Four's real name?" They laugh again.
"We have been trying for years to get that out of them. You're not getting an answer, Lauren you wanna stay?" Uriah asks
"Yeah sure, I've got nowhere better to be." She sits down and we get back to the game.
"Four, Truth or Dare."
"Dare." He responds
"I dare you to dance around like a ballerina." I smile and he glares at me but everyone else laughs, including Tris.
"Here man, I got you." Zeke gets up and comes back with a pink tutu in his hand.
"I'm gonna murder all of you." Four says as he gets up and puts on his tutu. He walks to the middle of the room and starts to dance. Everyone pulls out there phone and they are trying not to shake with laughter while they record it. He spins with his arm above his head and walks on his tip toes. I think he is trying to dance. Keyword: Trying. He rips off the tutu and sits back down. Tris leans over and kisses him and mutters something.
Ten rounds later and its almost 1am, I stand up and tell everyone I'm going to bed. I'm followed out by goodbyes and Four and Six walking arm in arm, obviously they were going to bed to.
"Well, goodnight Four, Tris, see you at 8am sharp in the training room." I say as we round the corner. They say goodnight and the last thing I see is them kissing, a lot. I just smile to myself, they make a cute couple. I try and quietly open the door and change into my pajamas and go to bed. That's when I hear Kaylor and Dylan talking.
"So what I'm thinking about tomorrow is getting Six alone and I'm gonna put my moves on her. I mean, there is no way she can say no to all of this." Dylan says
"She can and she will." I say back to him.
"Sorry was I talking to you? No didn't think so." He snaps.
"Whatever. If you get beat up don't come crying to me." I ignore whatever he says next and I fall asleep.
Tobias POV
We say goodnight to Ari and the next thing I know I have Tris up against the wall and kissing her passionately.
"God I love you," I mumble against her lips.
"I love you too," She pulls back a little.
"I love you three" Now it's a game
"I love you Four," She smirks
"Awe, I love you Six."
"Poor five." She giggles and it gives me butterflies in my stomach.
"Let's finish this in the bedroom." I whisper seductively in her ear. I feel her shiver and she smiles, I pick her up like a bride and carry her back to our apartment with her laughing all the way. We get home and we crash. We were going to resume things but I had to make a promise for tomorrow because both of us could barely keep our eyes open.
Hey so sorry for the semi short chapter but I was In the hospital last week and its 11:30 now but I thought it deserved a new chapter so I finished the one I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. If you could leave a review because this is the first time I've done anything like this. So yeah-bye!
